Health Each candidate must be free from any defects which would render that person unsuitable to perform the duties of the post and be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service. For the purpose of satisfying this requirement, it will be necessary to undergo at the candidate’s own expense an initial medical examination, by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by Cork County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. On taking up appointment, the expense of the medical examination will be refunded to the candidate. Retained Fire-fighters will be required to undergo regular and ad-hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of fire-fighting duties the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature.
